Especially since you can setup Boxee to launch from an icon within WMC, which is great to watch/record live TV and let Boxee handle everything else. So I got to play with this at CES, and while it's cool, it's no different than putting a computer next to your TV with the freely available software. The price is what will make it sell, since it's pretty astonishing to find something that can do this much for this cheaply supported by a major company (i.e., not like popcorn hour). My favorite part though was by far the remote control. The buttons are very clicky, and feel like a good mobile phone keyboard. Kind of like the sidekick's. I asked if it would be available as a separate purchase, and the Boxee people said yes, so if you just want the remote and not the whole Boxee box, you'll be able to get one. I know I will.

haywire posted:A shame it lacks composite / I have a lovely old TV. Also although it looks freakin' awesome, where the hell would you put it? You should look into a WD TV unit, then. As far as placement goes, while it is shaped rather bizarrely, it's quite small. Shouldn't be much of an issue sticking it somewhere next to the TV.

haywire posted:What exactly does the box offer over the WD TV Live? Better UI, vastly increased internet content, great remote control, web browsing (limited utility), app store, SDK.
